Is private equity buying homes a problem? Yeah for sure, I hate BlackRock owning homes as much as the next person
Is that as big of a deal compared to the fact we simply don't have enough housing and have built up massive barriers to building housing? No, not really
btw, a point to keep in mind when you see the claim that private equity or Wall Street is pricing families out of homes:
Homeowner families have never owned a larger portion of the housing stock.
